The snow continued to fall from the skies yesterday and really quite heavily at times. Felt good to see it all coming down and there was probably 30cm or so during the day. I know I had to move that much off the top of the car total in two goes yesterday as it quickly built up. That's what we like to see! You'll notice lots of the resorts adding a big chunk of new snow to their numbers below over the last few days too.

This morning weather conditions have calmed down. The forecast is cloudy for the day but at the moment the sun is out and shining down on us and a kind of blue but overcast look to the sky. Could turn out to be a fine one.

The snow should definitely be fine though. The snow I moved off the car last night was very light and the people staying on for this morning will be rewarded with some great conditions. Yesterday the snow conditions were excellent as well, though less visibility. Today should be similar conditions, better views and fewer people.

Back to snow late tonight followed by clearer weather on Thursday.
